It takes community and connection to promote healing. With choice comes power and self-empowerment. Especially for trans, gender nonconforming folx, anyone who identifies under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella, and neurodivergent folx, the system doesn't feel made for us and choice feels limited. If you are looking for support exploring your issues in a compassionate and warm space, I truly believe even under systems of oppression, you can contact ways of thriving, finding and maintaining meaningful relationships with loved ones, and most importantly, with yourself. Let's talk, cook, write, dance, breathe/cry about it! It's all meaningful!
Informed by feminist and queer theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I use mindfulness and other tools to help cope with unwanted events, thoughts, feelings and increase flexibility of responses. We make room for the stuff we do not like, make efforts to change what we can, and one step at a time, get towards more authentic living and thriving.
The journey of therapy can seem long and arduous, but with a great support system in place, who knows what you are capable of? No matter how you identify or your background, if you trust in me, maybe I can be one of those supports for you. Reach out to me for further information and we can go from there! Now accepting clients for Mondays thru Thursdays.
